(SCREAMS)

(GUN FIRING)

The security system
is being disabled.

There's a plane arriving here
in the morning
to take you to Mexico City

if we can keep
you alive that long.

(GUNS FIRING)

MAGNUM: Get us on the ground.

What's wrong with your side?
There's a bullet in it.

(GROANS)

| don't go after any suspect
without checking out
his background.

(VALEZ SINGING IN SPANISH)

(VALEZ SPEAKING SPANISH)

(BOY LAUGHING)

(BOY SPEAKING SPANISH)

(PHONE RINGING)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Yes. Yes,
| have received the pictures.

But we cannot do
business until you
first identify yourself.

You say you are
a private investigator?

You are asking for
a lot of money,

how do | know you
have all the other
information that you claim?

Yes.

Yes, | can be there
in an hour.

Yes. | will come alone.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

MAGNUM:
The Pacific horizon can be
a very inspiring sight.

But it can also be
kind of depressing

when you find your
personal horizons
a little lacking in rainbows.

Paradise has a way of
seducing you into a sense of
stagnant well-being.

A feeling that
you're experiencing
life at its best,

so why go looking
for anything better?

Then one day | realized
why rainbows
never get boring to /ook at.

They're always changing.

My own colors were
fading from standing still.

So why not put
a couple of new humps
on my horizon?

Grow, change,
learn some new things.

Spread my wings
and fly a little.

Even if | fell
back to earth a couple
of times in the process.

T.C.:
Pull up on the collective.

Easy. Easy... Hey,
I've got it. I've got it.
That's it.

No more lessons from me.

Oh, come on,
one little mistake.

One little...

You had us going
backwards on the lift-off,

at 2,000 you had us
going sideways,

and then you came within
inches of crashing us
into the landing pad.

Well, what about
all the things | did right?

What about all
the things I've learned?

Sure. Right.

After six hours of
flight lessons,

you learned how to
shut the engine off.

I've learned more than that.

Like what?

You keep making
the same mistakes
every time we fly.

T.C., I'll double
what | pay you.

Sure you will.

If you get that job
in Oklahoma.

No ifs. I'll get it.
| just have to be a pilot.

Look, | can make
more there in
one three week job

than | can here
in an entire year.

If you're a pilot.

You are not a pilot.

You are not
going to be a pilot.

Why don't you
call that oil company
and tell them you lied.

| did not lie.

Not exactly.

Besides, you know
there's more at stake
here than just a job.

What if we're up there
one day and you
suddenly have an attack?

Well, this young
man's heart is just fine,

as long as he doesn't let you
touch that stick.

(GROANS)

T.C., you all right?

T.C., come on.
Stop fooling around.

HIGGINS: You should consider
yourself most fortunate.

T.C.: Yeah, | know.

I'm sorry. | guess
I'm a little worked up

about losing
10 days of solid bookings.

Can't fly for 10 days?

Perhaps for two weeks,
according to the doctors.

What did you
learn at the police
station?

Just that they think
the gunman fired
from the highway,

across from the helipad.

You have any idea
who might have done it, T.C.?

Are you kidding?
| wish | did.

Well, never mind.
I'll come up with something.

You just concentrate
on getting well.

| mean, if you heal fast,
you might be flying in a week.

What? No, no.

Forget it.
No more flying lessons
for you, buddy.

Magnum, how could you?

Thomas, | don't believe it.

Is that all you've
got to think about,
is your pilot's license?

No. Come on,
that's not what | meant.

Getting my pilot's license
is the farthest thing

from my mind till we
find out who shot at T.C.

Mmm-hmm.
Then you're going
for the license, right?

Well sure. Why not?

I'm making progress.
Magnum, please.
Give up this folly.

Call that chap in Oklahoma
and admit to him
that you lied.

| didn't lie.

The guy said,
"Will you be able to fly
our company chopper

"around the oil fields
to investigate?"

He didn't say "Can you?"
He said,
"Will you be able to?"

And | will be able to.
I've got six weeks.

The noontime news is on.
I'm gonna see if there's
anything about the shooting.

Okay, so nobody believes me.

But once we find
out who shot at T.C.,

| will somehow, someway
get my pilot's license.

In six weeks?

(LAUGHS) Oh.

Good luck
with your new instructor.

RICK: Shh! Quiet, guys.

...by a gunshot today. He had
reportedly just finished
giving a flying lesson.

Calvin, owner-operator
of Island Hoppers Air
Charter Service, was,

according to HPD reports,
shot once, in the chest,

presumably with
a high-powered weapon,

and from
a considerable distance.

However,
an Island Hoppers spokesman
is now quoted as saying that

foul play is not suspected.

Well, that brings us
around to the lighter...

What idiot would give out
such a ludicrous statement?

The same idiot
that claims to be
my spokesman.

Well, somebody had
to mind the store.

| heard the news report
on the radio about
the shoot... The accident.

So, well, naturally,
my first inclination was
to rush to the hospital.

Naturally.
Exactly.

But then | thought,
"No, no, that's just what
all his good friends will do

"and I'd just be in the way."

So, then, naturally,
the next thought
that occurred to me was,

"Who's looking
after T.C.'s business?"

So you just naturally
rushed on down here

and took charge
in a moment of crisis?

Exactly. And lucky | did.

Because when | got here
the place was standing open
and crawling with press.

But don't worry, these are
the last two left
and they're just leaving.

| handled all of them.

Like that stupid crack
that foul play
wasn't suspected?

Shh!

Naturally | told them
foul play wasn't suspected,

I'm trying to save T.C.'s
image here.

| mean, who would want to fly
with a guy somebody's
trying to kill?

Yeah. That's very
thoughtful of you, Mac.

Thank you.

SO, can you empty your pockets
and show me your wallet?

| think I'm being insulted.

No, just accused, naturally.

T.C. always has about
500 in cash in his office,
for emergencies.

Now if | walk in
there and don't find it...

Well, you won't!

Because | secured
all the cash | found.

| hate that word!
Don't say secured
when you mean stole!

| secured all the cash.

Now if somebody had
snuck in there and stolen it

while I'm still on
the premises, I'd feel
pretty silly, now, wouldn't 1?

What else is missing, Mac?
Nothing.

| haven't taken anything
from that office.
| have only given.

Of my time, my creativity,
and my years of managerial
experience.

Mac, please leave.

Well, you're welcome.

He wouldn't put himself out
for a little cash.

With this guy,
it's always a major angle.

Naturally.

Well, we've got to
take care of T.C.'s
biggest problem.

Help me tie down
the rotors of the chopper.

Then we'll go...

T.C.: Mac?
Okay, what's missing?

What was he after?

MAGNUM: Mac didn't take
anything from the office.

T.C., why do most of
your shipping invoices
list unspecified cargo?

Because some of
the shippers are
too lazy to itemize.

Yeah, well, maybe
they don't want to.

Maybe they tried to slip in
some kind of contraband

and got scared that
you found out.

And | would have, too.

| check every
unspecified item.

Look, maybe | just got hit
by some idiot with lousy aim
out taking target practice.

Hey, don't forget to lock up.
(WHISPERING) Struck out.

And check my
messages for me, too.

What? Yeah, sure, T.C.

Did you and Rick
have any problems
securing the chopper?

Well, actually Mac
secured the chopper.
No problem.

Oh, great, thanks.

Oh, yeah, the doc says
I'll be out some time
late tomorrow.

Tomorrow? No, stay there.

| mean it's safer there.

You expect me to stay here
at 300 bucks a day
until we find the sniper?

No way.

No, | guess not.
Bye, T.C.

Thomas,
he's gonna want to come by
here the minute he gets out.

Now we gotta go
find the chopper.

Any luck on Mac yet?

His landlady says
she hasn't seen him
since early this morning.

But | got the place
staked out,

he's probably at
some chopper chop shop
somewhere.

Rick, we don't know for sure
that Mac took the chopper.

Hey, will you quit
defending him?
I'm not defending him exactly.

Yes, you are.

This bum's conned us all
at least once.

You better start realizing
that this isn't your
good old honest friend Mac.

Thomas, the real Mac is dead.

And this Jim...
Jim Bonig.

The point is that
you've got to quit
letting him off so easy

just because he looks like
the old Mac, Thomas.

| am not letting him off,
but | still don't think
he could be connected

with an attempt on T.C.

HIGGINS ON ANSWERING MACHINE:
Magnum, I've been trying
to reach you.

You received a call
from a client who said
that it was urgent

that he reach you,
a matter of a long
overdue fee.

Therefore | referred him
to Island Hoppers.

| trust the payment will be
sufficient to cover your
outstanding indebtedness

to Mr. Masters, including
upkeep on the Ferrari

and maintenance on
the tennis court.

And |...
| got call on all money.

Your tab's through
the ceiling.

Rick nobody owes me a fee.

Cut it out, Thomas,
Higgins just said...

No, he didn't just say it.

He must have left that message
while T.C. was giving me my
lesson, before the shooting.

He didn't mention
the phone call to you
at the hospital?

| don't think he thought
it was important.
But maybe T.C. was right.

Maybe he was hit by mistake

because he was sitting on
the right side of the chopper

where the passenger
would normally be.

You?

Whoever made that call to
Higgins was probably
the gunman looking for me

and he got T.C. instead.

You're right, Mr. Magnum.

We have to hurry.

Valez's men probably know
you've come back here by now.

Who's Valez?

Stop it, Mr. Magnum.

Everyone knows about
what you pulled off last week.

You have to go back
and tell the truth.
Now wait a minute.

We're going back to Oklahoma?

You've got to be kidding.
Just because Thomas
lied about being a pilot,

somebody's gotten bent
out of shape enough to...

(SPEAKING SPANISH)
All right, all right.

(SCREAMING)

Well, maybe now
| can get a simple thank you.

All | did was save your life.

Most people put
their house keys
with their car keys.

Well, | don't happen
to be most people.

But you should just
be thankful that
| had to come back

and get it and heard
what was going on.

And that | had the presence
of mind to secure this
from their glove compartment.

It's a shame we didn't have
a little more backup, we might
have gotten the girl, too.

| was trying
not to hit a lady.

Okay, fine. Look, who are you?

And where were
you and the girl
trying to take us?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

His name is Emilio,
and he's from Mexico City.

You speak Spanish?

Naturally, | speak Spanish.
| studied for the priesthood
in Paraguay.

(SCOFFS)

Okay, so | was a dropout,
but | did attend a seminary...
Never mind.

Ask him about the girl.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(EXHALES)

(WHISTLES)

What's he saying about me?

And who's Pasqual Valez?

(SCOFFS)
You got to be kidding.

He's only one of
the biggest crime bosses
in Mexico City.

JIM: So you really got
the goods on Valez's
organization last week, huh?

Thomas, you were
in Mexico City last week?

| thought you were
in Oklahoma City.

| was.

You tell Emilio that
he's coming with me

to find someone
who speaks Spanish.

Well, what do you
think I've been doing?

I'm not sure, Mac.

That's why | like
a second opinion on
what Emilio told you.

Besides you've got
something more important
to do. Find T.C.'s chopper.

Find it? Why, did he lose it?

Knock it off, will you?
You know you stole it.

Me? Why is it always me?

Why would |
liberate T.C.'s chopper?

| hate that word, too.

Now, you bring back
T.C.'s chopper that you
liberated, stole by tomorrow.

(PHONE RINGING)

Island Hoppers.

HIGGINS: Magnum,
come home at once.

Oh, Higgins. Look, you speak
Spanish, don't you?

| need you to do
some translating.

And | need you here,
now please hurry.

Yes, do hurry, Mr. Magnum.

| will shoot Mr. Higgins
if | have to.

What do you want?
MARIA: Follow my instructions.

Bring Emilio here with you,

do not call the police,
and come under concealment.

You're a dead man
if Valez's men see you,

and so is your friend
Mr. Higgins if you cross me.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SIGHS)

MAGNUM: No sign of a tail.

Mac must have
lost them for us.

Yeah, and | gotta find him.

Rick, the best way
to guarantee that
you'll see Mac

real soon is to have his car.
His life is in here.

Listen, Valez may have
the estate staked out...
Wait a minute.

| don't believe this.
What?

Marvel Comics, volume one,
the first
Tales from the Crypt,

Huey, Dewey, and Louie
on Vacation...

All in good condition.
Do you know
what these are worth?

You better worry about
what your life is worth.

(SIGHS)

MAGNUM: Okay, you'll lean on
Mac about the chopper when
he gets back to T.C.'s office

and you'll check with
Ice Pick about Pasqual Valez.

RICK: Thomas...
The lady said come alone.

Okay. Let's go, Emilio.

Emilio.
Maria?

Magnum.
Higgins.

Tea?

You're supposed
to be a hostage.

Miss Torres has explained
why it was necessary for her

to take such drastic action
to bring you here.

Magnum,
why didn't you tell me where
you really were last week?

Look, Miss Torres...

Maria.

I'm sorry that | had to leave
so quickly before,

but it's most awkward for
a federale to be questioned
by the American police.

You and Emilio
are Mexican agents?

There's a plane arriving here
in the morning
to take you to Mexico City

if we can keep
you alive that long.

We'll have to have
your testimony to nail
Valez once and for all.

Fine.

But | want more
than protection.

What | know about Valez
goes to the highest bidder.

We are the highest.

How much?

A lot.

How'd you know about me?

And how did Valez?
As a matter of fact,

| pride myself on
being discreet.

Yes, you apparently
confided in no one.

I'm sorry, Higgins,
this was too big.

| used Oklahoma City
as a cover, | commuted
to Mexico every day,

| used a fictitious name
with Valez's men.

Not according to
our sources, you didn't.

| used my real name?

But claimed you
were from Chicago.

Naturally, it didn't
take us, or Valez,
long to trace you here.

Naturally.

Higgins, ask Emilio

in Spanish what the guy
in T.C.'s office said to him.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

It seems Mac threatened
to pour gasoline in
Emilio's navel and ignite it

if Emilio didn't talk.

| want to know
if he asked him
anything about me.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Mac asked if Emilio or Maria
had ever seen you.

Have you? Maria?

Can you swear
I'm the man
you're looking for?

We know that
a private investigator
named Thomas Magnum

was working undercover
in the Valez family.

What are you doing?

| can straighten this out
with a couple of phone calls.

The phone's dead.

(ALARM WAILING)

The security system
is being disabled.

Magnum,
someone's on the grounds.

MAGNUM: Stay here.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Valez.

| tried to tell you.
Now it's too late.

(GUNS FIRING)

(GUNS FIRING)

Any idea how many men
Valez brought with him?

AS many as it takes
to kill you.

Emilio.

Higgins, where are the dogs?

At the kennel for a grooming.

Great.

You picked today to
get them a haircut?

| had no way of knowing that
we would be re-fighting
the Alamo this afternoon.

Really, Magnum,
you've no right to involve
the Robin Masters estate

in your clandestine affairs.
Higgins.

(GUNS FIRING)

| was in Oklahoma.

No Valez. No Mexico.

It will do no good
for you to try
and change your story now.

HIGGINS: Maria's right.

Actually, I'm impressed that
you'd attempt to expose
a South American mafia king...

| didn't.

As soon as | can get to
a phone, I'm going to call
Oklahoma,

and they will verify
for you and Maria

that | was there
the entire week
discussing oil rig vandalism.

They stopped shooting.

What in God's name
are you doing?

Look,

we're gonna need a bunker
to... So we can see them
entering from any direction.

Emilio.

The sixth century Vishnu
from the temple of Angkor

and the Gauguin
deserve to survive.

(GUNS FIRING)

Hey, where are you going?

Oh, my God.

An O. Henry first edition
and Balzac was barely spared.

(GUNS FIRING)

You won't be spared
if you don't stay under cover.

Miss Torres, | assure you,
I'm quite capable of
taking care of myself.

Higgins, what happened to
the ammo for the guns
in Robin's gun cabinet?

All ammunition was removed
to the garage last week for

the Annual Home for
Incorrigible Boys Open House.
Emilio.

Why didn't you put it back
after the incorrigible boys
left?

Never mind. Where's the extra
rounds for the Webley?

In the study.
I'll fetch them.
Look out!

Never mind,
they're in the house.

(SIREN WAILING)

(MAN SPEAKING SPANISH)

Someone must have
heard the shots
and called the police.

Emilio's dead.

MAGNUM: I'm sorry.

We have to get out of here
before they arrive.

Higgins, look, I'm sorry
for dragging you into this.

I'll tell the police about
Valez, but until we can prove
it, you're still a target.

You'd better go.

Thanks.

Nothing except a battle lost

can be half so melancholy
as a battle won.

MAGNUM: You picked a good
place. Hardly anyone ever
comes out to this strip.

Thanks.
| did my research.

If you're safe anywhere
right now, it's here.

Why do you make it sound like
I'm the only one in danger?

Am | in danger?

You are if Valez finds us
and we can't
fight our way out.

Salud.

(CHUCKLES)

| hope pepperoni's okay.

Is that the guy you called?

That's a terrible joke.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

| am sorry.

| try to make jokes
occasionally.

So who did you call
when we stopped for the pizza?

A guy named Rick,
who's trying to reach
a guy named Ice Pick,

who just might know
a guy named Valez.

Whom you still think
you just might be
able to deal with

for your information,
and live.

That plan failed
in Mexico City, remember?

| wasn't in Mexico City.

| just want a chance to
try to convince Valez of that.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

I've always been
told it was messy.

It is.

You're kidding.

You never had pizza?

It just never appealed to me.

No forks?

No, you don't need one.

See, what you do here
is you just...

You gotta kind of curl it up.

(LAUGHS)

You're right,
it is messy, sorry.

Mmm.

So, why do you do it?

Eat pizza? I'm a cheese freak.
No.

Why do you do
dangerous things like go
after big men like Valez.

| don't.

You know, no one's ever
worked their way into his
crime family before,

learned his best kept secrets
in a week.

| didn't.

Okay, | didn't reach
the guy in Oklahoma,

but I'll reach him tomorrow,
I'll prove it to you.

There's no time for
phone calls. The plane
will be here right after dawn.

| won't be getting on it.

Where does it hurt?

Let me see.

Thanks.

That's a result of
my encounter with
your friend.

My friend Emilio?

It's okay.

He knew it could happen,
being a federale.

Why do you do it?

Maybe one of these days
| won't.

Maybe I'll find
something saner.

Yeah?

If you did, what would you
do if you got out?

Just what you did.

| don't go after any suspect
without checking out
his background.

(SIGHS)

It's not going
to work, Maria.

No, not as
a permanent relationship,

but maybe we could just...
You know what | mean.

I'm not going to Mexico.

I'm not either,

not until morning.

RICK ON PHONE: Yeah, yeah.
| reached Ice Pick.

I'm gonna tell you, Thomas,
he wasn't real thrilled about
being disturbed at 3:00 a.m.

What did he say about Valez?

He knows him.

But he can't help you except
to tell you that Valez flew in
here yesterday.

Ice Pick doesn't know
where he's staying
on the island?

He doesn't want
to know, Thomas.

Just forget about it.
He said that he won't deal
with Valez for anybody.

Did Mac meet up with you?

No, listen to this,

he called me at midnight
to tell me that he might have
found T.C.'s chopper.

Rick, listen, see if you can
find him, it's important.

Tell him I'm flying out
of Molani Airport for Mexico
in an hour.

You're not really going to
go there, are you?

That is up to Mac.
See what you can do. Okay.

Thomas? Hey, Thomas, Thomas!

Maria. Time to wake up.

It's okay.

| went to sleep.
It's okay.

Your plane
should be landing
any minute now.

| never sleep
while I'm working.

Well, then | guess
you don't sleep much.

Here, you want some coffee.
It's only an hour old.

You went out?

They could have seen you,
followed you here.

| had to check in
with my friend Rick.

Looks like I'll be
looking for Valez myself.

Oh, will you put that down,
| didn't have to come back
here, remember?

The point is you did.

And you're
getting on that plane.

You don't really care
whether I'm the Magnum you're
looking for or not, do you?

You're job is just
bring in the suspect.

If you have no information,
you'll be released.

In what condition?
Your people will
get a confession out of me,

whether it's true or not,
and you know that.

You can't really believe
I'd let that happen.

| don't Know what
to believe about you.

And last night
didn't change that.

People in your line of work
can have strange priorities,
| know.

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

Magnum.

(GREETING IN SPANISH)

Am | glad to see you!

Yeah, Mac,
| knew you would be
naturally concerned.

That's why | was
hoping Rick would
tell you where | was.

Oh, he told me
a lot more than that.

What's this
crazy story about you
going to Mexico City?

No, Mac, I'm not going.
You are.

Maria says the federales
are the highest bidder.
Any price.

You should sell to her.

Any price?

If you had anything to sell.

Drugs, rackets, numbers...

| have names and places
that tie straight to Valez.

| want a million cash.

Now your syndicate should
consider that a bargain,

considering that I'm removing
the opposition.

Magnum, she's no federale.

Hey, | know what I'm
talking about. Why don't
you ever believe me?

| believe you.
You'll get your million.

And you, I'm afraid,
have become expendable.

Sorry, Thomas,
| would have had to have
killed you sooner or later.

(SIGHS)

You're welcome.

JIM: That pilot's bound
to be with the same
outfit Maria worked for.

A rival crime family.

He's coming towards us.

You know, with what | had on
Valez, they could have turned
him over to the federales.

Why, Mac?
Why did you get me
involved in this?

Can we discuss this
a little bit later?

Right now we better worry
about this pilot.

(GUNS FIRING)

Valez.

His men must have
seen the plane landing.
Let's go.

(GUNS FIRING)

(SHOUTING IN SPANISH)

Magnum, would you come on?

(VALEZ SHOUTING IN SPANISH)

Mac...

(GUNS FIRING)

Mac!

Is this how Thomas Magnum
got into Valez's family,

as a Spanish-speaking pilot?

JIM: | wasn't
a pilot for them.

And | swear,
| never told Valez your name.

His men knew
me as Trini Oliva.

The one time | did use
your name, is when |
had to flash your license

to verify some facts
with the police.

My license?

Exactly.

(SHOUTING)

And | think Valez's has
some friends down
at the police department,

‘cause they sure knew that
Trini Oliva

was the same as
Thomas Magnum when
they came here to kill me.

Kill me,
can you beat that?

Hey!
Valez told me
he was coming alone.

Mac!

Damn, I'm good.

Didn't | tell you? If |
hadn't burst my eardrums,
I'd still be a jet pilot.

Why, Magnum... Oh.

Why, Magnum, why don't
you ever believe me?

Mac, what's wrong
with your side?

There's a bullet in it.

What?

There's a bullet in it.

Mac, get us on the ground.
You bet.

Just as soon as
we get to Mexico.

Mexico?

Naturally, they gave us
enough gas in this bird
to get us there.

Well, Magnum, | just
want to do the right thing.

| want to get these papers
to the federales.

Besides, if we
stayed here any longer,

Valez and his men would
just keep coming after you.

Not with what you
have in that little book,

that's what I've been
needing to get him picked up.

Now, tell me
where he's staying.

How would | know
where he's staying?

Because you know
everything else about him.

Now give me the address,
you can't make it to Mexico.

Would you please
just look in the kit

and see if you can find
something to help
stop this bleeding.

Peanut butter and jelly?

And no medical supplies.

Mac, give me the address
and turn us around.

Okay, it's 8630 Cranebrook.

But, Magnum... Magnum,
listen, grab the wheel.

What?
Grab the wheel.

Now listen carefully,

the plane's in trim,
you shouldn't have
too much trouble.

Until you start down.

Until | start down?

Now, listen,
turn the plane around.

How?

You make a U-ie
to the right.

(GROANS)

Mac?

ART ON RADIO:
Okay, Tommy, don't panic.

My name is Art and
I'm a CAP Pilot.
We're going to get you down.

Just don't panic,
Tommy, okay?

It's Thomas.
And I'm not panicking.

And | don't want to
come down until the police
get that message.

Check 3680 Cranebrook.

They've got it, Tommy.

Thomas!
Check.

We just find a little
familiarity relaxes people in
life-threatening situations.

Well, thanks, Arty.

Did you get ahold
of Rick Wright?

Check. He says that T.C.
cannot get out of
the hospital until later,

and that Rick has sent
some other help. Now, listen,

you're gonna have to lose
all that extra fuel
before you crash...

Before you land the craft.

Well, you mean, | gotta
fly around here till
the tanks are empty?

Negative. Look for
a fuel jettison near
those tanks in the back.

HIGGINS:
Don't smoke, Magnum, please.

And watch your
altimeter at all times.

Higgins?
You're the help Rick got?

It's an instrument
on your panel that
vaguely resembles a clock.

If the hand on the clock
starts spinning,
you're losing altitude.

Higgins, get off the mike.

I'm merely translating
the pilot's technical terms
into Magnumese.

MAGNUM: You're not a pilot!
HIGGINS: I've had experience.

What experience?

| happen to be
a member of the Goldfish Club,

a group restricted
to those select few

who have jumped
over 5,000 feet
into ocean water.

What does that have
to do with flying?

In this instance,
a great deal.

| suggest you check
the cockpit for a parachute.

Art and | can instruct you
in a ditching procedure.

Now, that sounds like a good
idea to me, Tommy.

Yes, Tommy,
look for a parachute.

Look, yeah. Thomas.
And there's a couple of
parachutes here,

but there's no way
| can get Mac into one.

Check. Then let's start
dumping that gas.

MAGNUM:
| know what you're thinking.

Six hours of
flight instruction
in a chopper

does not make you
a fixed wing pilot.

But | knew it could be done.

Doris Day did it in Julie,

Karen Black did it in Airport.

Julie Hagerty did
it in Airplane!

The question was,
could | do it?

After all,
| wasn't a stewardess

with a reassuring
fatherly voice
talking me down.

| was a guy. A guy,
who T.C. said
had no talent for flying,

being talked in by Higgins,
describing spinning clocks.

| just had to hope that
you didn't have to be a female

to land a plane
on your first try.

And that Art
could out-talk Higgins.

ART: You made that bank
like a pro, Thomas.

How's your altimeter?

I'm at 2,000.

And you're steady?
Check.

That's incredible.
Are you sure you
haven't flown before?

No. | guess it's
just natural talent.

Okay,
you're on final approach.

Now, listen up.

MAGNUM: One final thought
on Doris, Karen, Julie
and expanding one's horizons.

Life can imitate art,

and what the girls did
in artful film fashion,

Art was helping me do
in real life.

As for horizons,
life's full of choices.

| decided if | got
on the ground again,

I'd give up my idea
of becoming a pilot.

Now | had one more
choice to make,

be an instant Lindbergh
or be in several pieces.

Down, Thomas,
push down, gently.

You're not listening.
| said push down.

(LAUGHING)

HIGGINS: He made it.
He actually landed.

Mac!

Hip, hip, hooray!
Hip, hip, hooray!
ALL: Hooray!

Hip, hip, hooray!

(ALL CHATTERING)

Wait a minute.
Where's the brakes?

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
Guys? Arty?

Higgins? Come on,
where's the brakes?

Will you please
tell me where are
the brakes? Higgins!

(CRASHING)

JIM: | wanted to talk
to you guys before
| saw the priest.

To get some
things off my chest
while there's still time.

Mac, please.
No. No, no, listen.

| slipped into Magnum's
place, and | secured
his P.|. license,

and | had it duplicated

and that's how his
name got mixed up
in all of this.

But it was worth it
because | nailed Valez.

Thomas nailed Valez.

Exactly. T.C.,
| wanted to tell you that

the guy | leased your
chopper to knew from
the beginning

that you were going to get
six percent.

Thanks, Mac.

But since you won't be
with us much longer,
I've drawn up these papers

signing me over your car,
your checking account,
to cover my troubles

and the shooting up
of my van.

All right. No problem.

I'll sign these
when | get my strength back.

Perhaps you aren't going to
get any stronger, Mac.

Best that you sign it now.

Rick has one, as well.

You'll be leaving me
your life's savings.

| checked the account
and there's only about
25 bucks in it,

but it will take care
of all my troubles,
not only that, Mac,

it will give me something
to remember you by.

(GROANS)

Try again, Mac.

You should be
getting stronger.

See, | talked to your
doctor this morning,

he said you did have
a close call,

but you should be
up and around
by the end of the week.

Hasn't he told you that?

Mac gave me
something, too, guys.

What did you get?
My life insurance? My mother?

No, Mac.

Your comic books.

Doesn't even the score,
but it's a start.

What do you mean
it doesn't even the score?

Some of those were
worth a fortune.

| know Huey, Dewey and Louie
on Vacation

and Tales from the Crypt are,

so maybe I'll feel different
when | go through
the rest of the box.

Magnum,
are you referring to
the duck and monster books

| found in the trunk
of Mac's car?

Yes, they were
extremely valuable.

Were?

Yes, they paid
half the cost of
an O. Henry first edition.

Naturally, | Knew you'd
want to contribute to
the estate damages.

Naturally.

Naturally.

| hate that word.
